It's more than one reason for the decline unfortunately. High rent and rates are part of it, often in towns and cities like this the retail units are owned by one or two large landlord companies who often refuse to reduce rents, they'd usually rather see them stay empty in the vain hope a large chain who can afford the costs move in. The business rates are the second major factor, again pricing many smaller retailers out of the city centres. Another factor is the local authority, Kirklees Council is in a financial mess and on the verge of bankruptcy so is making huge cuts to services and that, inevitably, leads to less street cleaning, less upkeep of council owned areas and buildings making the place look even worse. This in turn makes the city centre even less attractive to potential investors and business owners. Then there's the impact of online shopping, one of the biggest reasons for the decline in city centre shopping. The final reason is the demographic of the people in the area, Dewsbury has a very high immigrant population and like it or not they often don't have the same incomes and spending power as the indigenous older generations had. Not only that but as more and more immigrants move in these wealthier more middle class residents tend to move out or shift their spending to other towns and cities to avoid them. It doesn't have to be that way though, Barnsley, Wakefield and Leeds itself have also suffered massively but are trying to do something about it. Barnsley has reinvented the town centre, and are trying to attract those smaller, more eclectic independent retailers into the town, although many feel the council are neglecting other areas in favour of the centre. Wakefield is embarking on a similar strategy at last, refurbishing and rebuilding many of the old mills around the waterfront areas, trying to work with the owners of the run down Ridings Shopping Centre and have decided to go after those smaller independent retailers and try and attract them into the city centre. Wakefield still has a long way to go, it's often filthy due to a lack of daytime street cleaning and it has a high number of vacant retail units, especially due to one large, greedy commercial landlord. Wakefield also has a huge problem with druggies and alcoholics who hang around the pedestrianised areas outside the cathedral.

Go back thirty years ago and Dewsbury was thriving and then in 2004ish it went downhill. Thanks in no part to the big Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Sainsburys, supermarkets, add to that the large shopping centre in Ravensthorpe, White Rose Shoping centre just 15 minutes down the A653 in Besston, South Leeds. All aided by the wonderful councillors who voted for it on the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, (Bradford, Calderdale, Leeds, Kirklees, Wakefield, York) that we had to get extra funding for West Yorkshire and York. Sadly Leeds seems to get the lion's share of funding a lot of the other's miss out, especially North Kirklees, which has caused real controversy. Kirklees college whose built a new campus in Dewsbury, and a new Police Kirklees HQ, taking over the old site of Dewsbury Technical College! It took Dewsbury all its time to save its hospital, when it was on its own before the merger it had no debt unlike the Mid Yorks group it finds itself in. The only none run down area is the A653 corridor, Shaw Cross, and Chidswell at the top of the hill.

I lived in Dewsbury for 15 years. Here are the reasons it's in decline: - Poor (Kirklees) council planning and policy (Locals would testify that Huddersfield received much more attention and funding than Dewsbury over the years and a planned 10 million pound investment in Dewsbury town centre was abandoned after the 2007 financial crash. - Its close proximity to Leeds doesn't help as Leeds has a huge shopping precinct which attracts shoppers from Dewsbury and its environs - Underlying trends (nationally and internationally) away from town centre shopping in favour of online shopping - Shopping in Dewsbury town centre was always a frustrating experience due to the poor parking facilities. It compares badly to Mirfield retail park with its free, close proximity, parking. - High historical unemployment and poverty in Dewsbury. People simply don't have the money to shop for anything other than essentials, which they tend to buy at Asda, Lidl etc. - Cost of living crisis and generally poor underlying UK economy. I object to the posts suggesting this decline is to do with the muslim population. This is just factually incorrect. If anything, the muslims are keeping the town centre alive with their (still popular) market stalls which attract visitors to the town centre twice a week. It should also be noted that I was burgled 3 times whilst living in Dewsbury. On each occasion the person was caught and on each occasion it was a young white person. I never had any problems from the local muslim population.
